Laganja Estranja is the stage name of Jay Jackson, an American choreographer, drag queen, and cannabis rights activist based in Los Angeles, California. He rose to fame as a contestant on the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, finishing in eighth place. Laganja performed moderately well on the show, winning a challenge while partnered with eventual runner-up Adore Delano. During the show, Laganja became infamous for her over-the-top dramatics, catchphrases, and emotional breakdowns.

In 2016, Jay and friends developed Laganja's Dance School, a hip hop-oriented jazz-funk choreography class and confidence workshop.
